We are supposed to believe that speciation occurs over many millions of years, through a gradual process of genetic drift.

But new Phyla can arise virtually overnight. We're not talking about jumping a genus, an order, a family, or a class. We're talking about lots of new phyla just popping into existence. In the blink of an eye? Through genetic drift and natural selection?

I don't have that much faith.

Theories, ... about evolution are simply an unproved hypothesis.

Like Global Warming/Climate Change/Environmental Debts, etc. are ideas that smart people devise to explain (now by computer programs {which they make up themselves}), and thus they build a model and create it to theoretically to prove whatever current point they are SELLING TO THE PUBLIC.

Cynical ... true; and also fact.

Do not buy the BS ... horse feathers!

The article acknowledged that “The Cambrian Explosion is widely regarded as one of the most relevant episodes in the history of life on Earth, when the vast majority of animal phyla first appear in the fossil record.”
I thought that that all phyla appeared during the Cambrian Explosion, that no new phyla have appeared since, and that some phyla have since become extinct.

Some decent research and hypothesis in the primary sources, but every time the writer of these reviews opens his mouth, he show himself to be uneducated on the matter.

I think it's time for an asteroid die off theory. No more “Waiting to Inhale” oxygen or “My Pal Cal...cium”, none of that, but an asteroid and “then life freed of competition was able to select body plans.”

Details to follow.

Nonsense! The world is only 6000 years old and every “fossilized” sea shell was put in its exact position by the express direction of God.

If the Earth is only 6,000 years old there was no Cambrian period, remember? /sarc

Cause for the explosion of life: God said, “Let there be...”
